Ridiculous . Technically challenging sections are one thing ,but some of these moves require downright courage ! Neat camerawork ,Mark in what was probably a hectic environment . Fun fact : the first time I ever saw trials riding in real life was Kenny riding a demo in Holland - without the pressure of a comp he was generally jammin' , quite an introduction to the sport to see it's foremost practitioner at the height of his athletic skill just riding for the fun of it.

Really fortunate find -looks great. Nice elegant drive setup too !

If someone intentionally builds a snowflake pattern as opposed to just using up overly lengthy spokes , how on earth does one even calculate spoke length ? As for the picture - an unusually short fellow ? Seems he's compensating with excessive chain,spoke and brake cable length ! Also , always a joy to see a Base TA 26 frame still rollin'

That's one of the few components on a trials bike that you can trust a local bike shop to supply ,any steel jobby by a reputable manufacturer should do fine.

Yeah , that gap at 4:12 is ridiculous ! Neat video,some fun lookin' spots .

Really courageous commitment on some of those lines - sweet to watch ! The way you turn in midair for a landing - did you learn that from another discipline like BMX / dirtjumping ?

Watching someone with that level of proficiency playing around and enjoying it is a joy . Was he throwing out a bit of flair with the one hander during a comp or was that just training ?

Solo training session ? Solitary refinement !

Good clean ,fun riding !

Effortless and accurate, a real pleasure to watch.

A little off topic here , but even for a racer / fixie this : ...headtube must belong to a colossal frame

It's hammer and sickle not cycle .For reals though there's a strong tradition of Russians going for a mechanically simple solution to complex problems sometimes to great effect ie the Kalashnikov .

Immediately thought of the Koxx Vinco frames ( one for the old skoolers ) What happened to 'im by the way , still riding ?

How did other mainstream manufacturer's trial bikes / frames fare on the rare occasions that actually happened ? I recall Colnago , Bianchi and of course the Giant offerings ( no , not that famous speculative blue proto ) so does Giant still offer their trial frame ? If they couldn't sustain it with their colossal organization and distribution then G.T may struggle . On the other hand , as pointed out they do have Mr.Belaey on board and it's been several years since a big bike Co. attempted this .

Cool feelgood thread, good show by the cops and the Tarty boys ! There's a special place reserved in Hell for bike thieves .

Ridiculously stylish lines and effortless smoothosity .

Really nice composure and deliberate riding . His foot position on the pedals is really far forward, surely if I emulate that I'll magically ride that smoothly.

Really cool ,pretty much exactly the kind of riding they're intended for.

Still a really enjoyable video , super deliberate riding with some unexpected flourishes . Stylish as Hell .

I doubt you'll find a smaller chainring than 22t for a conventional 4 bolt crankset , but a wider bottom bracket and or spacers on the driveside may help .

Some killer videos here ,sadly my favourite seems to have dissapeared , anyone still have it ? Entitled Justice Vs Simian , with Fred Gillet and a few others being downright awesome . http://www.trials-fo...couk-new-video/

Brilliant all rounder , sweet extension / form on the condor too.

Onza's Ronnie is damned heavy but builds into an incredibly strong wheel and holds a grind well. http://www.rocknrollbikes.com/trials/rims/onza-ronnie-rear-alloy-rim-38mm.html#Size=26 Looks good laced to King ,too !

Entirely agree.
